Description
Faravahar, A Persian (Iranian) Religious Symbol Bronze Figurine on marble base. Signed by Kanaev (Russian artist). H 8" x 11" x 2.5". About Faravahar: The Faravahar, also known as the Forouhar or Farr-e Kiyani, is one of the best-known symbols of Zoroastrianism, an Iranian religion. There are various interpretations of what the Faravahar symbolizes, and there is no concrete universal consensus on its meaning. However, it is commonly believed that the Faravahar serves as a Zoroastrian depiction of the fravashi, or personal spirit. The Faravahar is one of the best-known and most used pre-Islamic symbols of Iran and is often worn as a pendant. Despite its traditionally religious nature, it has become a secular and cultural symbol for Iranians.
